thanks, joy reid, have a nice weekend. you, too, david corn. >>> how deep is the debate over drones? critics on the progressive left, some of them, and libertarian right are taking issue with the obama administration drone policy. this is a family dispute in my house. polls show most americans support, even most liberals if you will, even when it means killing americans who are plotting with al qaeda to kill other americans. >>> plus, four senators, two democrats and two republicans, are really working on a deal to expand at least background checks for gun sales. two of the four senators are members of the nra. if they can strike a deal, then a big part of president obama's gun safety proposals could be within reach. >>> plus, the terrific movie "silver linings playbook" puts mental illness in the spotlight tonight. we're joined by the director of that film, the great david russell, to talk about the issue and the oscar history the movie could make. i think it's got a shot. >>> texas governor rick perry escalates that war

and marjorie clifton, a former campaign consultant for president obama. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> chip, we have senator durbin saying that congress is going to get into the constitutional questions, but if republicans aren't coming out against drones and neither are the majority of democrats, does it ever really happen? >> you know, the few things they can agree on, we should celebrate. this issue is so very serious in the sense that, when you talk about these kinds of strikes, these drone strikes, you never hear about it in the public because it is really in the shadows. these are usually issues talked about in the house intelligence committee or the senate intelligence committee not open to the public. republicans tend to think this is a commander in chief responsibility with oversight with the house intelligence committee, and they tend not to get too much involved in this because there can only be one commander in chief at the time. >> wait a second, chip. you said it's something they can agree on. do you really think they can agree on
